Mumbai, February 27, 2024: RBL Bank as part of its CSR initiative has inaugurated ‘Suryoday RBL School’, to support education for children with special needs. Managed by Suryoday Trust, this is the first such initiative in Vasai-Nalasopara, built with a view to making the children functionally independent adults who are well-integrated into society, the officials said.

Currently, the school is operating out of 14 rented spaces in Nalasopara accommodating 50 children. With this inauguration, the school will now move to the new school building at Vasai, enhancing its coverage area and capacity to accommodate up to 100 children.
